Phyllis,

You've come so far...don't let some freaky little computer website get you down!!!  YOU will decide when you're at the weight you want to be...and then you'll stick to it.

Keep up the amazing work!!

 Phyllis    those #s don't make ANY sense ..   I wouldn't worry about them ..  

  Did you try plugging the data in on OH's BMI calculator?    35 BMI is considered "obese" (don't ask how I know   )  ..   I THINK 50 is "morbidly obese" and 60+ is "super obese", but I could be wrong .. 

  Also, that is a WIDE range of weight for "healthy" for a given height and gender, too high, IMHO, so something seems seriously askew there ..    

  btw, have you done a body fat % analysis?    I don't know how accurate those ones that are built into weight scales are, but my hand-held "zapper" unit (Omitron?)  seems pretty dang accurate.  It should be more accurate as far as telling how close you should be to a "normal" weight. 

Frank talk about the DS / "All I ever wanted to be was thin, like that Rolling Stones dude ... "

HW/461 LW/251 GW/189 CW/274 (yep, a DS semi-failure - it happens :-( )

I am 5'1 and should be about the same as you according to the charts (didn't check this)...but I will say that before  got preg with baby girl 3 1/2 yrs ago...10 mos post op I was 140-142. Wore a 4 or 6 depending. I was almost too thin. I was at the point where people were telling me I needed to slow down, getting to thin, looking sick, etc. So I can't imagine if I got to my goal of 125. (which isn't even low enough for the charts!) I am still hanging around 150-155. And definitely want to lose more. As others have said...you will know where you want to be when you get there....
